“Oddment” is a hybrid of the Latin suffix (“-ment”) combined with the Germanic word “odd,” which stems from the Old Norse “oddi,” meaning “third or additional number.” If you have ever made or owned a “crazy quilt,” you’d be quite familiar with oddments. A crazy quilt is a traditional style made up of irregularly shaped blocks cut from scrap fabrics and stitched together with no rhyme or reason. These quilts made from oddments usually have an endearingly eccentric look.
